| 20110093088 | SELF DEPLOYING IMPLANT IN NEEDLE - Described, in certain inventive embodiments, are unique devices and methods for introducing implants into soft tissue of a patient. One of these devices includes a tissue-penetrating member that is configured to pass in its entirety through a volume of patient tissue. The tissue-penetrating member has a leading end and a trailing end, and provides a receiving space for receipt of an implant body portion for carrying the implant body portion into the volume of patient tissue. The device also includes an implant that has an implant body portion removably received in the receiving space of the tissue-penetrating member. The implant body portion is configured for deployment from the receiving space in the volume of patient tissue so as to remain deployed there along a passageway traversed by the tissue-penetrating member. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080224123 | Methods for nanowire alignment and deposition - The present invention provides methods and systems for nanowire alignment and deposition. Energizing (e.g., an alternating current electric field) is used to align and associate nanowires with electrodes. By modulating the energizing, the nanowires are coupled to the electrodes such that they remain in place during subsequent wash and drying steps. The invention also provides methods for transferring nanowires from one substrate to another in order to prepare various device substrates. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring and controlling the number of nanowires deposited at a particular electrode pair, as well as methods for manipulating nanowires in solution. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090230380 | Methods for Formation of Substrate Elements - The present invention relates to methods of forming substrate elements, including semiconductor elements such as nanowires, transistors and other structures, as well as the elements formed by such methods. | 09-17-2009 |
